Pageflips for Pixmap presents were not synchronized to vblank on

missing init for vblank->sync_flips. The PresentOptionAsync
flag was completely ignored for pageflipped presents.

Vsynced flips only worked by accident on the intel-ddx, as that
driver doesn't have PresentCapabilityAsync support.

On nouveau-ddx, which supports PresentCapabilityAsync, this
always caused non-vsynced pageflips with pretty ugly tearing.

This patch fixes the problem, as tested on top of XOrg 1.16.2
on nouveau and intel.

Please also apply to XOrg 1.17 and XOrg 1.16.2 stable.

Applying on top of XOrg 1.16.2 may require cherry-picking
commit 2051514652481a83bd7cf22e57cb0fcd40333f33
which trivially fixes lack of support for protocol option
PresentOptionCopy - get two bug fixes for the price of one!

I think I'd like to see a hunk like this in with this patch, so that
each driver doesn't need to have the cap check:

      {

Seem reasonable?  If you wanted to squash this in, then this is:

I'm not sure if drivers will really avoid the cap check, as i assume the definition of the check_flip() function requires them to implement it anyway? Does some spec somewhere require them to do it? Do driver writers check all server implementations to see if they can get away with less?

But then having this hunk in doesn't hurt either, and it would keep the current intel-ddx uxa backends working, so i'll integrate it - after some urgently needed sleep.

Thanks for the review. These server patches are actually the critical ones for me. Without them in XOrg 1.16+, all the mesa fixes would be utterly useless for my kind of applications.
